Among the streets of the charming seaside village of Marzamemi, a stone's throw from the famous Piazza Regina Margherita, you can enjoy one of the best pistachio granitas in all of Sicily.
Although finding a good granita far from Catania and Messina is no easy task, there are rare but fantastic exceptions, such as Il Tuo Gelato 2, in Marzamemi (Siracusa).
This pistachio granita is surprising, as it manages to have the texture and flavor of a true granita, while being unique in its own way. It has all the characteristics one expects from a well-made Sicilian granita, but at the same time, it has something special.
Beyond a light and pleasant graininess, its greatest distinctive feature is a bold, natural pistachio pulp flavor, which is truly very rare to find in desserts. There are many wonderful traces of chopped nuts, perceptible to the palate but also visible (including the purplish skin of the pistachio). You really get the feeling of eating something very genuine. To complete the picture of a well-made granita, the shop confirms that it contains no milk, making it perfect even for those who are lactose intolerant!
Although there are tables outside, the shop does not offer table service, but you won't feel the need for it at all.
The value for money is excellent, given that the cup of granita costs only €2.50 and the quality of the raw ingredients is visibly high.
All the other granita flavors are also delicious, all equally fresh and natural. The pistachio gelato is also good, although not quite at the same level as the granita.
